Fresh after a finals appearance, the Magic wasted no time in acquiring some help. VC will provide them with a go-to guy at the end of games which they have been lacking for years. They lose Turkoglu, who was an important part of their team last year causing mismatches to many opposing teams. They also lose promising young talent in Courtney Lee, however, the addition of Ryan Anderson has more than offset that loss. Time will tell whether VC can remain healthy and inspired, whether Nelson make it back to his pre-injury All-Star form, whether Howard can take that next step in becoming a franchise superstar.

I think the Magic are greatly improved over last year on paper, but they are going to need time to find team chemistry. Its going to take focus to build their form. But come playoff time, this is a deep and talented team.
I think these guys are going to win 60+ wins and go deep into the playoffs, with their main challengers being Celtics in the East and Lakers in the West.
